Venerable Pope John Paul II to be Beatified
Lol. This is too funny. Nice to know it's so easy to get something verified as a legit miracle The current miracle was that a nun was cured of Parkinson's disease. There is no medical cure for this, so whatever happened wasn't by human intervention. One day she had Parkinson's, had shaking hands, and slurred speech, and the next she didn't. Something happened in between, and whether it is God or Space Aliens, I don't know, but it certainly was extraordinary. Or maybe, just maybe, this nun who had Parkinsons (needs to be diagnosed by a doctor) ISN'T cured, or something logical and explainable happened that changed her Parkinsons. But since they aren't looking for anything but evidence that it was a miracle, I guess they're only going to come to the conclusion that it was a miracle.

Yeah, the north is characterized by extreme poverty, physical abuse, suicide, and substance abuse. Hell, a lot of the places even have circuit courts, where once every x amount of time a judge is flown out to hold court for a set amount of time.

What ever happened with that BP thing?
Looked at the first 2 pages of results, none of them about my OP. All the articles there are about dispersants and criticizing Obama and the tar balls on the beach. Nothing about the health effects plaguing people recently

What ever happened with that BP thing?
I don't know man, hearing minimal things for the first couple weeks, then slightly more after that, and having reporters/scientists threatened by feds and cameras taken/threatened to be taken away for trying to cover the spill seems pretty black out to me. The fact that it was never really big in the news and that these new health problems would be the number one story if there wasn't. But there isn't so much as a TEENY TINY article in the major news companies about this. lol @ them not letting anyone else try to estimate how much was actually leaking, not releasing any of their numbers, and discrediting anyone who had evidence that it was leaking a ton

What can't you wait to do in the new Golden Age of Runescape?
MMG already said in his clan chat that reverting things would be easy, and that he'd get the ENTIRE runescape content team working on it to make sure it gets out ASAP

America, Violence and Guns
That's what I was eluding to. Getting rid of or making gun control more loose wouldn't solve anything. Wanna lower the homicide rates and violent crime rates? Fix the problems. Poverty, unemployment, education, addiction, etc. The north is a really terrible place. REALLY terrible

What ever happened with that BP thing?
This some kinda conspiracy theory? Indeed. [Citation needed]. You posted a ton of stuff but nowhere was there a mention of a blackout except in your own comments. Though you'd think it would be obvious that leaking billions of gallons of oil into the ocean would have side effects. It's a huge problem, there isn't going to be an easy fix, and what fixes there are, are almost guaranteed to have effects of their own. There was a black out during the spill (common knowledge) and one now about this. Google search Gulf Coast Toxic, you're lucky if you find any foreign stuff, never mind major American sources.

Ah, do you live in Winnipeg too? Furthest north I've been is The Pas, beautiful lake there but I didn't spend any time in the city. Yeah they have a lot of [cabbage] to deal with and lots of addiction and crime, but I just admire their culture so much. They always seem like yeah it sucks a lot up here, but things could be worse and we're just trying to make the best of it
-
America, Violence and Guns
Yup. Whenever I watch documentaries on the north it's always so depressing, but the people there are amazing and really resilient to their [cabbage]ty conditions

What ever happened with that BP thing?
Most don't know this is happening because there is a media black out. They're probably unknowingly eating oil fish and shrimp and etc etc too A media black out? It's only because nothing has changed. News thrives on change, things out of the ordinary, dramatic turns of events. Right now, like it or not, the oil in the Gulf of Mexico is status quo, much like violence in Afghanistan or poverty in Haiti. The best you'll probably get are follow-up programs a year later. They're still terrible things that should be stopped, but they're not changing. I also find it painfully ironic that Americans can be outraged about another country's state of healthcare. Is this whole thing meant to be sarcastic? Because it isn't particularly funny. No, there is a black out.

I think density play a huge factor into gun crimes. If you take a look at the map posted, you'll notice several states in the U.S. like Minnesota or North Dakota that have extremely low amounts of deaths per capita, and probably have the lowest population density of all the states. Here's another interesting statistic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_gun_ownership On average, there are 90 guns per 100 citizens in the US, the highest in the world. Third is Switzerland, with 46. If you cross reference the number of gun related deaths per 100,000 citizens, you'll see that the U.S. is at 10.2, Switzerland is at 6.4, and Canada is at 4.78. Canada didn't make the chart of guns per 100 citizens meaning its probably less than 1.0 (Nigeria has 1.0 per 100, and its lowest on the list). This means the U.S. has more than 100 times the guns per 100 citizens than Canada, yet the gun related deaths are only about twice as high. Um. Also you said Canada didn't make the chart of guns per 100 citizens, yet I see Canada quite clearly at rank 9 :blink: I don't know where you got the gun related deaths numbers from so I looked for some myself. Canada: Plus something I thought was interesting http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/res-rec/deaths_deces-eng.htm Also did a lazy search for America And on the topic of population density, in Canada our highest rates of firearm related deaths are in the Northwest Territories & Yukon, which have two of the lowest population density in our country. It's the definition of [cabbage] hole up there though, it's a terrible, terrible, forgotten place

Need someone to help with Effigies.
Hang around edgeville bank or GE for 10 minutes and you'll see people with construction/smithing capes

He's being sarcastic. Oil could work well with food, don't even need to pay for it, just walk down to the beach and scoop up some oil tar!

What ever happened with that BP thing?
Bear with me, there's a lot of stuff. I'll start with two more recent articles: http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2010/12/20101230105158700342.html http://www.examiner.com/human-rights-in-national/gulf-hero-doctor-testing-patients-poisoning-worsening-cancer http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2010/11/201011465847225269.html Lol glad BP remained in charge of operations http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/04/science/earth/04bp.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/2010/11/201011872121964396.html http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2010/10/20101027132136220370.html There are tons more articles about this. US literally ignoring the large scale poisoning of its citizens, and going a step further to make a media black out. Plus saying beaches are okay to visit, waters are okay to swim in, and seafood is okay to eat. If you don't mind the terrible health consequences

What movie(s) did you last see?
I've seen Black Swan. I wasn't too fond of it. I thought it was too weird. Of course I could tell that it was meant to be an artistic movie and appreciated in that sense.. but meh. Most people seem to be crazy about it though. That's part of the reason I want to see it, I heard the last part was pretty crazy too. I'll love Aronofosky forever for The Wrestler, wasn't fond of Pi though

Too much stress for your CNS for certain goals IIRC

If it's just for calisthenics, go nuts.
-
What movie(s) did you last see?
You should watch ReAnimator. It's an 80's movie and it's a B, but it's freaking brilliant and the acting is really good. I never wanted it to end Good to hear, I'm really wanting to see this.Josh Brolin's performance in No Country was great and I've been wanting to see him in a western role. Anyone seen Black Swan or Faster?
-
Muscle failure or no?
Maybe if you're doing it wrong and bringing the bar to your neck, but if you can place it on your chest and then roll it down to your hips and sit up you'll just get some bruising if it's heavy. Or you could put it on your chest and dump it to one side

Muscle failure or no?
There's reasons to go to failure and reasons to leave a rep or two in the tank, I just can't remember which is which. Just stick with what your routine says and don't over complicate things, although if you are going to failure, that last rep shouldn't be sloppy ass form just to get one last one in

I agree, should have been locked when you started baiting. That's when it all went to hell
